Nicknames: "Growing Mountain", "Blue Paramount" Logo: On a black background, we see the abstract mountain logo, with "Paramount" in black script in the light blue circle like the other Paramount logos, and the "A Gulf + Western Company" byline at the bottom in light blue. It begins to zoom up on us, as the stars (which are followed by light trail-streaks) and byline zoom past, and both the mountain and circle grow bigger until we are literally right on top of the peak of the mountain, with "Paramount" centering in, filling the middle of the screen. When the peak hits the bottom and "Paramount" fits the center, "Paramount" begins to shine, then there is a VERY bright flash, and it dies down to reveal the Paramount script logo (in blue) and a small "VIDEO" (shining a bit) between two blue lines. Trivia: On the early 1990s re-release of Strong Kids, Safe Kids, the 5th logo preceded this one. Variants: A black and white variant exists. At the end of an April 1998 Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy) airing of The Devonsville Terror, the animation is slowed down but plays as normal until all there is is "Paramount" and the mountain, when the logo freezes in place and the rest of the music is heard. It's unknown if this was used on any home media releases of the film, or any others. FX/SFX: The growing mountain and the flash are pure Scanimate effects. Certainly a large improvement over its predecessor. Music/Sounds: A building set of synthesized strings, ending in a new-age synthesizer tune composed by Richard J. Krizman, which sounds somewhat similar to the "Meet George Jetson" portion of the Jetsons theme. Music/Sounds Variant: On the 1983 RCA CED videodisc release of An Evening with Robin Williams, this follows the RCA SelectaVision logo, but is silent. Availability: Very rare. Most Paramount films used the logo used on the film, while television series (such as Star Trek, with the exception of the 1984 Television Classics Laserdisc release of the two-part episode "The Menagerie", which uses no logo), comedy specials (such as Paramount Comedy Theater: Volume 1), and licensed material (such as Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! and The Adventures of the American Rabbit) have this logo. It was also on the 1982 VHS release of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, and a 1990 reprint of it retained the logo. It is also on the 1992 release of A Dog of Flanders (along with the warning that preceded it), also likely a reprint itself. The black and white version can be found on a VHS release of The Untouchables pilot "Scarface Mob" and Bob Dylan: Don't Look Back. It was also (as mentioned above) on the early 1990s re-release of Strong Kids, Safe Kids, after the next logo. Other releases that have this include Teen Wolf and Call to Glory. Paramount Video would produce 1984 to 1986 episodes of Brothers, a sitcom which aired on Showtime from 1984 to 1989. This would appear on 1984 to 1986 episodes, while 1987 to 1989 episodes would be produced by Paramount Television. Scare Factor: Low. The flash and zooming mountain may be unexpected and unnerving for some people, but it's much tamer than the previous logo because of the quiet, beautiful melody used here.
